For a second week in a row, weather affected my travels. I was still able to make the most of the week, but with my time left here getting shorter and shorter I’m hoping not to lose any more days. I started out this week in Hartford at the Old State House. The state house... Continue Reading →

This week’s adventures again started out in New York City. There are so many things to do in New York, that I think I could visit everyday and still not see all there is to see. I started out my trip with a visit to the New York Hall of Science. It was a very... Continue Reading →

I just finished my first week here in San Antonio, and I really am just starting to get settled in. I am working nights again, and I'm back to working an irregular schedule, so adventures and trips are probably going to happen less often than they did on my last assignment. I am loving being... Continue Reading →

This week was my week off between assignments, so no exciting adventures this week, just a lot of driving and getting things taken care of. I realized that I never actually said where I was going next, because I didn't want to jinx it before I got here. I am happy to announce now though,... Continue Reading →

This weekend's adventures were mostly business related. I am applying for a California nursing license, and I decided it would be better to get my fingerprints done in state than mail a hard card. The closest fingerprint location was still about a 9 hour drive, so another weekend full of lots of driving, but hopefully... Continue Reading →

This weeks adventures were not quite as exciting. I had to go back to Norman to get my car fixed (again). It’s a long story as to why I had to take it back to Norman to get fixed instead of getting it fixed out here, and I won’t bore you with those details now.... Continue Reading →

This week was the 4th of July, so it was a short work week. On Monday I went to the lake with a friend and her daughter, and it was pretty fun. You couldn't swim in the lake, and we didn't have fishing poles so we pretty much just spent some time throwing rocks and... Continue Reading →
